Please.” 管事把他带到一团体积惊人的火浮云前,注意到艾辉在打量火浮云,他恭敬道:“夫人说,先生是贵客,岂能怠慢？请。” Fiery Red Auspicious Clouds, the length exceeds 70 meters, highly over 20 meters. The faint trace red fog continuously curls dissipation, like brilliant rosy-colored clouds at dawn. 火红色的祥云,长度超过70米,高度超过20米。丝丝缕缕的红色云雾袅袅消散,就像绚烂的朝霞。 Such a colossus peacefully stops in the square, is exceptionally striking. 这么一个庞然大物安静停在广场,异常醒目。 Only looks at present Flame Floating Cloud, Ai Hui can look, this caravan financial resource are quite deep. Is such big one group of Flame Floating Cloud, the price is quite only astonishing, let alone also needs fierce water elementalist to make the massive efforts to manufacture to complete. 光看眼前的火浮云,艾辉就能看得出来,这支商队财力颇为雄厚。光是这么大一团火浮云,价格就极为惊人,更何况还还需要厉害的水修花费大量的心力才能制作完成。 Before arriving at the stair, Ai Hui asked suddenly: „This Yun does Ke have the given name?” 走到台阶前,艾辉忽然问:“此云可有名号？” In charge respectful sound track: „Propitious number.” 管事恭声道:“吉祥号。” „Good name.” “好名字。” Ai Hui nods, ascends the step on, the look is unflustered. 艾辉点点头,拾阶而上,神色从容不迫。 For three years, act Chu Chaoyang this status, how his early custom faces such scene. Does not have him, sticks to one's own way of doing things then. 三年来,扮演楚朝阳这个身份,他早习惯如何面对这样的场面。无他,我行我素即可。 Enters the propitious number, inside arrangement makes Ai Hui at present one bright. Not radiant crystal chandelier, does not have the soft magnificent fur to overspread the ground, but is breeze Xu to come, the gauze curtain flutters, is away from the simple and elegant screen, visibles faintly a graceful back. The vague fragrance, makes the Ai Hui spirit inspire. 走进吉祥号,里面的布置让艾辉眼前一亮。没有璀璨的水晶吊灯,也没有柔软华丽的毛皮铺满地面,而是微风徐来,纱幔轻扬,隔着素雅的屏风,隐约可见一个曼妙的背影。若有若无的香味,却让艾辉精神微振。 Can make the person mind tranquil. elemental force made up fumigating with incense, is not rich can buy. 能够让人心神宁静。元力受补的熏香,可不是有钱就能买到。 Well-trained servant simultaneously bows to give regards. 训练有素的仆人齐齐躬身问好。 Ai Hui is secretly surprised, such ostentation. Not like Merchant Guild, but looks like the aristocratic family. 艾辉暗自惊讶,这样的排场。可不像商会,而是像世家。 However Ai Hui does not have to care. Manages him is Merchant Guild or the aristocratic family, ride a ship in any case. arrived Auspicious Clouds City, on racket. 不过艾辉也没有太在意。管他是商会还是世家,反正自己都只是搭个船。到了祥云城,就拍拍屁股走人。 Bypasses the screen, sees only a female to stand before the window, is gazing at outside the busy scene. 绕过屏风,只见一名女子站在窗前,注视着外面忙碌的场面。 In the corner, a silent and vertical old servant, making the Ai Hui pupil shrink slightly. in his heart dark startled, he only noted the screen indistinct back a moment ago. Suddenly has not realized existence of this old servant. 角落里,一位无声而立的老仆,让艾辉瞳孔微微一缩。他心中暗惊,刚才他只注意到屏风隐约的背影。竟然没有察觉到这位老仆的存在。 To vigilant Ai Hui, such careless mistake, had almost usually not appeared. 对素来警觉的艾辉来说,这样的纰漏,几乎从来没有出现过。 The strength of this old servant, is not simple! 这个老仆的实力,不简单啊！ An old servant Tibetan blue white clothing, sending must be gray, meticulous, stands in the corner tall and straight, figure like the loosen. 老仆一身藏蓝素服,发须花白,一丝不苟,站在角落,身形挺拔如松。 The old servant as if notes the Ai Hui's vision, raises slightly to express best wishes. 老仆似乎注意到艾辉的目光,欠身致意。 The Ai Hui look restores as usual, to raise slightly to return a courtesy similarly. The opposite party strength is immeasurably deep. elemental force fluctuates oneself to be hard to catch, light discussed realm, at least high two levels. However thinks financial resource so abundant Merchant Guild. If no master to assume personal command, is the strange matter. 艾辉神色恢复如常,同样欠身回礼。对方的实力深不可测。元力波动自己难以捕捉,光论境界,起码比自己高两个层级。不过想想财力如此雄厚的商会。倘若没有高手坐镇,才是奇怪的事情。 In the effective mouth said „madame”, the status thinks that very venerates. 管事口中所说的“夫人”,身份想必十分尊崇。 Ai Hui first time sits such big on Flame Floating Cloud, is somewhat curious, has not thought that outside looks is the thick cloud layer, but looks from inside, the cloud layer is actually transparent, the field of vision is slightly not affected. 艾辉第一次坐这么高大上的火浮云,有些好奇,没想到外面看是厚实的云层,但是从里面看,云层却是透明,视野丝毫不受影响。 The females hear the sound, has turned around. 女子听到动静,转过身来。 Ai Hui only thought that the present ray as if becomes brightly. 艾辉只觉得眼前的光线似乎都变得明亮许多。 A fine gorgeous oval face. Double blade hair bun that pulls high, snow white slender powder neck. Let her put down increases several points of elegantly beautiful noble makings. She sees Ai Hui, at present one bright. Raises slightly to salute slightly: „Has not thought that can meet Silver Ring Swordman in Cloud Ridge City fortunately, your slave Xiao Shuren, has seen Mr. Chu.” 一张精致艳丽的瓜子脸。高高挽起的双刀髻,雪白纤细的粉颈。让她平增几分冷艳高贵的气质。她看到艾辉,眼前一亮。微微欠身行礼:“没想到能在云岭城有幸遇到银轮剑客,奴家萧淑人,见过楚先生。” Ai Hui raises slightly to return a courtesy slightly. 艾辉微微欠身回礼。 Xiao Shuren said with a smile: „To the set off also meeting, Mr. Chu please sit down, the tea art of your slave takes take action reluctantly.” 萧淑人笑吟吟道:“离出发还有一会,楚先生请坐,奴家的茶艺算是勉强拿得出手。” „Has the work.” Ai Hui does not decline, sits down. “有劳。”艾辉也不推辞,自顾自坐下。 The generation of Ai Hui drinking like a fish, where could realize that the Xiao Shuren's tea art is exquisite, only thought that one cup a small mouth, drank for quite a while not to taste a taste. 艾辉牛饮之辈,哪里体会得到萧淑人的茶艺精妙,只觉得一杯才一小口,喝了半天还没尝出个味。 Xiao Shuren appearance with a smile, as the saying goes, puts out a hand not to hit the smiling face person throughout, let alone also rode others ship, Ai Hui has also repressed the temper, sat a meeting. 萧淑人始终笑吟吟的模样,俗话说,伸手不打笑脸人,更何况还搭了人家的船,艾辉也按捺性子,坐了一会。 About ten minutes, the caravan finally starts set off. 大约十分钟,商队终于开始出发。 Flame Floating Cloud floats off slowly, is exceptionally steady, Ai Hui first time sits such big Flame Floating Cloud, the feeling is quite new. Especially looks at outside from the ship, the field of vision does not cover, surrounding vine cart and ground scenery gets a panoramic view. 火浮云缓缓浮起,异常平稳,艾辉第一次坐这么大的火浮云,感觉颇为新鲜。尤其从船内看外面,视野毫无遮挡,周围的藤车和地面景色尽收眼底。 Xiao Shuren is with good intention, sees the Ai Hui vision to reveal the curious color, then makes Flame Floating Cloud fly the high place, the surroundings do not see military baggage vine cart, the field of vision is more open. 萧淑人善解人意,见艾辉目光露出好奇之色,便让火浮云飞到高处,周围不见辎重藤车,视野更加开阔。 Ai Hui almost realized that less than the least bit jolts, if not for if the scenery in field of vision passed over gently and swiftly, Ai Hui almost suspected one are static in the midair. More interestingly, faint trace breeze continuously, does not know that from where comes, completely relaxed. 艾辉几乎体会不到半点颠簸,倘若不是视野内的景色掠过,艾辉几乎怀疑自己是静止在半空中。更有意思的是,丝丝缕缕的微风,不知从何而来,让人心旷神怡。 Also stayed the moment, Ai Hui asked: „My room where?” 又呆了片刻,艾辉问:“我的房间何处？” Xiao Shuren shouted a servant: „Leads the mister to go to the guest room.” 萧淑人喊来一名仆人:“带先生去客房。” Ai Hui under leading the way of servant, arrives at the guest room. The room arranges warmly comfortable, is actually not luxuriously, but the room space is very big, moreover there is a special dead room, with by practice. 艾辉在仆人的引路下,来到客房。房间布置温馨舒适,却算不上奢华,但是房间空间很大,而且还有专门的静室,用以修炼。 Servant humanity: „Mr. Chu, on the ship also has the special developing martial stage, the madame has told, the mister can use at will.” 仆人道:“楚先生,船上还有专门的演武场,夫人吩咐过,先生可以随意使用。” Ai Hui nods, is quite satisfied, to servant humanity: „Is all right does not need to shout me.” 艾辉点点头,颇为满意,对仆人道:“没什么事不用喊我。” „Yes.” The servants should say hastily. “是。”仆人连忙应道。 Ai Hui closes, sits in the room, starts to sit in meditation practice. He fully realizes the time press, already was familiar with anytime and anywhere practice. If not for if Blood Plum Flower swallows his elemental force unceasingly, he should step into Outer Element Realm one year ago. But even if has Blood Plum Flower this bottomless pit, he is still complete to Inner Element his practice. 艾辉关上门,坐在房间,开始打坐修炼。他深知时间紧迫,早就习惯随时随地修炼。倘若不是血梅花不断吞噬他的元力,他在一年前就应该踏入外元之境。但即使有血梅花这个无底洞,他依然把自己修炼到内元圆满。 The difference is only in front of the goal a foot, he can step into Outer Element. 只差临门一脚,他就能够踏入外元。 Blood Plum Flower makes him somewhat worry, because he discovered that along with the rise of realm, Blood Plum Flower is having probably also some unknown change. Now Blood Plum Flower will frequently become boiling hot, whenever at this time, he will think that the mind will palpitate. He has an intuition faintly, if he steps into Outer Element, Blood Plum Flower will certainly have the huge change. 血梅花让他有些担忧,因为他发现随着境界的上升,血梅花好像也在发生着某种不为人知的变化。如今血梅花经常会变得滚烫,每当这个时候,他就会觉得心神悸动。他隐隐有种直觉,倘若他踏入外元,血梅花一定会发生巨大的变化。 Although there is a hidden danger, but Ai Hui does not plan to give up, compared with the unknown danger, Outer Element is bigger to his attraction. 虽然有隐患,但是艾辉并不打算放弃,比起未知的危险,外元对他的吸引力更大。 Steps into Outer Element, that is a new world. 踏入外元,那就是一个新的世界。 He eliminates the distracting thoughts, wholly-absorbed practice gets up. 他摒除杂念,专心修炼起来。 But in this time. On the Xiao Shuren face in cabin receives the happy expression, holds own drinking tea cup gently, asked leisurely: „Old He. You thought that this Chu Chaoyang is really or false?” 而就在此时。船舱内的萧淑人脸上收起笑意,轻轻捧起自己的品茗杯,慢悠悠地问:“何老。您觉得这楚朝阳是真还是假？” Stands said in Old He of corner: „Genuine and fake do not know, this child quite vigilant. However what the old man feels strange, this child realm is not high, has not broken through Outer Element unexpectedly.” 站在角落的何老道:“真假不知道,此子颇为警觉。不过老夫奇怪的是,此子的境界不高,竟然没有突破外元。” „Hasn't broken through Outer Element?” Xiao Shuren gawked, subconsciousness said: „Is it possible that does this person pretend?” “没有突破外元？”萧淑人愣了一下,下意识道:“莫非此人是假冒？” Without breaking through Outer Element, that is Inner Element, in Outer Element is the mainstream immediately, isn't a becoming famous master possibly Outer Element? 没有突破外元,那就是内元,在外元是主流的当下,一个成名高手怎么可能不是外元？ „Old man thinks on the contrary he is real Chu Chaoyang.” Old He said: „If pretends, this flaw is too big.” “老夫反倒以为他是真的楚朝阳。”何老道:“若是假冒,这个破绽实在太大。” „Silver Ring Swordman. Unexpectedly Inner Element, this also too inconceivable.” The judgment of Xiao Shuren to Old He quite believes that expressed admiration. “银轮剑客。居然不过内元,这也太让人不可思议。”萧淑人对何老的判断颇为信服,不由啧啧称奇。 „Is quite rare.” Old He nods: „But if his sword art outstanding, or some practice special legacy, has the possibility. According to the old man knows, the earlier period suppresses realm legacy, has more than ten types.” “是比较少见。”何老点头:“但若是他剑术超卓,或者修炼某种特殊的传承,都有可能。据老夫所知,前期压制境界的传承,就有十多种之多。” Suddenly Xiao Shuren lowers the sound: „Old He thought that he is intends or has no intention?” 忽然萧淑人压低声音:“何老觉得他是有意还是无意？” „Is the enemy is the friend, at present is also unknown.” Old He sinking sound track: „But if he specifically aims at us to come, that will certainly give oneself away. The madame processes appropriately, if he wants to initiate the confusion. Only then looks for the motorcade to start. Since he embarked at present, has the change again, we naturally can take at one fell swoop.” “是敌是友,眼下还不得而知。”何老沉声道:“但倘若他是专门针对我们而来,那一定会露出马脚。夫人处理得当,倘若他想引发混乱。只有找车队下手。既然眼下他上了船,再有异动,我们自然可以一举拿下。” He said superficially. It seems the slight effort is the same. 他说得轻描淡写。好似不过举手之劳一样。 Xiao Shuren said with a smile: „Has Old He, I dare line of this dangers to incur.” 萧淑人笑道:“有何老在,我才敢行此险招。” Old He said with a smile: „Madame erroneous approved. If our trip of smooth, all difficult problems are easily solved, potential of nobody soaring may keep off. Does not have the madame to take the trouble the hard sledding to plan, where has the Merchant Guild present aspect. This line to us, it may be said that fights to win or die, wins , then lives, the defeat dies. The madame felt relieved that the old man has been at cost of the life. Also delivers to this large stock of goods inevitably.” 何老笑道:“夫人谬赞了。倘若我们此行顺利,所有难题都迎刃而解,一飞冲天之势无人可挡。没有夫人费心费力谋划,哪有商会如今的局面。此行对我们来说,可谓背水一战,胜则生,败则死。夫人放心,老夫就算拼了老命。也必然把这批货送到。” Speaking of finally, his expression was sonorous. Being loud and clear. 说到最后,他语气铿锵。掷地有声。 Retinue guard, all eye of dew none remaining. Does not have the meaning of flinching. 身后的仆从护卫,无不目露精光。毫无退缩之意。 Ai Hui immerses in practice, the Blood Plum Flower boiling hot temporal frequency is increasing. It from initial one month of meeting boiling hot one time, to afterward once a week, again arrived afterward for three days one time. 艾辉沉醉在修炼之中,血梅花滚烫的时间频率在增加。它从最初的一个月会滚烫一次,到后来每周一次,再到后来三天一次。 But now, will manifest unexpectedly previous day suddenly one time. 而如今,竟然隔天就会发作一次。 Blood Plum Flower is exceptionally weird, before Ai Hui has seen other blood cultivator methods completely are different. The thunder and lightning that he withstands the test, actually does not have the least bit to affect. Ai Hui attempts to stimulate the thunder and lightning in elemental force to shell Blood Plum Flower, afterward discovered that it can absorb including the thunder and lightning unexpectedly, frightens hastily stops. 血梅花异常邪门,和艾辉以前见过的其他血修手段都完全不同。就连他屡试不爽的雷电,竟然对它都没有半点作用。艾辉尝试着激发元力中的雷电轰击血梅花,后来发现它竟然连雷电都能吸收,吓得连忙停止。 He must every day maintain very intensive practice, only by doing so, he can maintain the Inner Element complete condition. 他必须每天保持高强度的修炼,只有这样,他才能保持内元圆满的状态。 Blood Plum Flower swallows elemental force, may always be in all weather, not to the opportunity of Ai Hui least bit respite. 血梅花吞噬元力,可从来都是风雨无阻,不会给艾辉半点喘息之机。 Ai Hui maintains the Inner Element complete condition already enough one-and-a-half month, but has not met the breakthrough throughout the turning point. Steps into Outer Element from Inner Element, is qualitative leaps, to elemental force's understood that completely is also different. Many person cards in this checkpoint, can not break through, even some people, because the card is too long here time, instead causes backing up of realm. 艾辉保持内元圆满的状态已经足足一个半月,但是始终没有遇到突破的契机。从内元踏入外元,是质的飞跃,对元力的理解也完全不同。许多人卡在这个关卡,迟迟不得突破,甚至有人因为卡在此处的时间过长,反而导致境界的倒退。 Properly speaking, Ai Hui does not want to go out at this time, because breaks through time may have various conditions. Has slightly carelessly, possibly wastes all previous efforts, serious will even be injured. 按理说,艾辉在这个时候是万万不想出门的,因为突破的时候可能会出现各种状况。稍有不慎,就可能前功尽弃,严重者甚至会受伤。 This half a month he stays in Ning City honestly, where does not dare to go, has Loulan always to make people relieved in the side. 这一个半月他老老实实呆在宁城,哪里也不敢去,有楼兰在身边总是让人放心一些。 However the Blood Plum Flower matter, some features, he has to go finally. 然而血梅花的事情,终于有些眉目,他不得不去一趟。 Blood Plum Flower does not eliminate, he sleeps on pins and needles. Now also swallows his elemental force, Ai Hui suspected that did not find to cope with its means that finally can definitely want own poor life. 血梅花不除,他寝食难安。现在还只是吞噬他的元力,艾辉怀疑再不找到对付它的办法,最后肯定会要了自己的小命。 Is good-looking the woman is always cruel and merciless. 长得漂亮的女人从来都是心狠手辣。 elemental force practice does not have what progress, Ai Hui to know that more desirably seeks for the breakthrough the turning point, instead is easier to bore tip of cows horn. 元力修炼没有什么进展,艾辉知道越是刻意去寻找突破的契机,反而更容易钻牛角尖。 He remembers that the servant had said that on the ship has to develop the martial stage, is raising the extravagant sword, planned that practices sword art. 他记得仆人曾经说过,船上有演武场,便提着阔剑,打算去练练剑术。 No matter any weapon, always nothing else but practice makes perfect. 不管什么武器,总不外乎熟能生巧。 Develops the martial stage nobody left, Ai Hui is glad quietly, then selfish practice has sword art. 演武场空无一人,艾辉更乐得清静,便自顾自修炼起剑术。 For three years, he does not know that has dismantled sword Secret Art sword move on many sword manual, he understanding to sword art is profound day by day, there are more and more own ideas. 三年来,他不知道拆解过多少剑典上的剑诀剑招,他对剑术的理解日益深刻,也有了越来越多的自己的想法。 His sword move meteorology is also entirely different. 他的剑招气象也大不相同。 Immerses is quite the same as absorbed in practice Ai Hui. 沉浸在修炼的艾辉浑然忘我。 Has not paid attention to beyond the appearance the graceful form to come quietly together, the beautiful pupil flashes.( To be continued.) 没有注意到场外一道曼妙的身影悄然而至,美眸闪动。(未完待续。)
